You conduct a Google search and discover numerous marketing methods. While paid marketing is an option, you’re concerned about overspending. You could seek help from thousands of marketers who offer assistance, but this approach may incur additional costs.

Alternatively, you might consider creating videos. There are numerous ways to do this, and you’ll need to decide whether you’re comfortable being on camera or live. If not, you can opt for faceless videos, but you’ll need to know how to edit them to fill the space while narrating. Alternatively, you could hire someone else to narrate the videos since you’re shy about doing it yourself.

Animated videos are another option. With the advent of AI, there are numerous platforms available to create animated videos. You’ll need to choose a platform and compare the pricing of credits. Remember, editing is still required.

Blogging or a newsletter can also be a viable option, but it may take time to gain traction. SEO knowledge is crucial to ensure your articles are found online. AI can assist with content creation, but you’ll still need to provide the information for the AI to build upon. Since you’re new to this, it could be a challenge.

As you can see, there are numerous choices and options, and I’ve only scratched the surface. The sheer number of options can be overwhelming, leading to procrastination or even giving up altogether. Remember, this is a business, and if you want to succeed, you can’t afford to give up. Stay focused, be consistent, and never lose hope.

When starting out, it’s best to keep things simple, preferably using free methods. Choose one marketing plan and platform, such as Facebook, and learn everything you can about maximizing your marketing efforts. Then, put your chosen plan into action.

You can find a mentor who aligns with your interests, subscribe to their mentorship program if available, and avoid getting sidetracked by other gurus. Remember, a mentor doesn’t necessarily have to be someone you personally know. There are many excellent online coaches who host regular webinars or podcasts, providing ample guidance. If you’re interested in learning who I’ve been following for years, feel free to reach out.

Once you’ve done your research and hopefully found a coach or mentor, follow a simple plan. Keep it low-cost, choose a platform, and take action. This isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme; it requires time and consistency. You’ll encounter numerous “shiny objects” that you can purchase or subscribe to. Avoid getting distracted by these distractions.

As for where to start, Facebook is an excellent and powerful platform for affiliate marketers. The best way to attract visitors and build relationships is by creating live videos. Encourage them to follow you and then turn them into buyers.

However, my approach differs from other affiliate marketers. I still use Facebook to find leads, but since I have limited control over my account and it can be shut down for any reason, I meet people, get to know them on Facebook, and instead of directing them to my Facebook business page, I invite them to my secret tool called Estage.

Estage is a platform specifically designed for affiliate marketers. It operates on a Hub-centric business model, providing everything you need to run your business in one place. You can nurture your leads, and they can get to know you without the distractions of Facebook, such as messages, ads, and funny cat videos. Their focus becomes you and what you have to offer. With Estage, you have complete control over your business, unlike Facebook, where you can get banned, lose your account, and potentially destroy your hard-earned business.

So, what exactly is a Hub, and what is the Hub-centric business model? A Hub serves as a central hub where all the essential components for an affiliate business converge. You can create websites, funnels, newsletters, blogs, video presentations, and more. The most effective approach to building an affiliate marketing business is through the establishment of a community. To build and nurture your audience, and avoid the distractions prevalent on platforms like Facebook, it’s crucial to do so.
